Overview

The Blue Sea Systems 1472 is a DC 12V socket panel with two 12V outlets, each rated for up to 15A. It gives you a clean way to add accessory power at the helm, inside the cabin, or at another panel location where plug-in 12V gear is used on board.

This panel measures 4.75 in high, 4.88 in wide, and 1.50 in deep. That footprint works well where space behind the mounting surface is limited but two accessory sockets are still needed in one place.

Key features

• Two 12V DC sockets grouped in one panel
• 15A maximum rating per socket for common 12V accessories
• Panel dimensions of 4.75 x 4.88 x 1.50 in for space-conscious installations
• Keeps accessory power centralized for chargers, handheld GPS units, portable fans, spotlights, and other 12V plug-in equipment
• Suited to boats that need more than one 12V outlet without adding multiple separate socket mounts

Compatibility and fit

This socket panel is intended for 12V DC systems. It is a practical match for boats that use standard 12V accessory plugs and need two outlets in the same dash, console, or cabin panel area.

Before ordering, compare the panel dimensions with your available mounting space and check behind-panel clearance against the 1.50 in depth. That is especially useful on smaller helms, compact bulkheads, and refit projects where space is already tight.

Installation and setup

Installation is straightforward when you already have a 12V accessory feed planned. Wiring and circuit protection should be sized for the actual connected load, and the 15A limit for each socket should be respected when selecting plug-in equipment.

Keeping both outlets in one panel location can also make day-to-day use easier, especially when you routinely power more than one portable device from the same area of the boat.

Use on board

This panel makes sense for owners who still rely on 12V plug-in accessories rather than USB-only charging. It fits well on fishing boats, center consoles, cruisers, and sailboats where portable electronics and small 12V devices need a nearby power point.
